brated humorist, b b Burietre, last
night, at the Cumberland Presbyt.ri-
an church, under the auspices of the
Y. NJ. &. A, Was largely attended,
every available inch of space being
taken. The genial Robert Was intro
,luced to his audience by Rev. j. b.
Fuller, an Old time friend, aud it is
needless TO say the introduction Was
beautifully wOrded aud entirely APP
propli'te.
The lecture was entitled, advice
to Young Men," and Was de-
livered in the patriarchisl
style throughout with the
expression "My son" As preface.
1t was full of sound lngic aud yet so
delicstely ming Ell with humnr that
his hearers went from grave TO g,y
with an ease which evidenced intense
interest. Mr.. BurdetIe sid among
some Of his happiest hits tnnt ''tol-

an account of a Pennsylvania tarm

such q Rirth provosing manner, that
laughter res0unded from every part of
the house. He also touched upon

by Bob lngersnll, and impressed the

Fisher this afternoon, on complaint of
Rev. J. B. Bell, pastor, and several

Episcopal church, colored, charged
with breaking into the church build
Jog. Rev. Bell. besides being the
pastor of the flock, is the
carpenter on the new meeting

Bohon taking it out by force. He is
accused of breaking the lock on the
rear door, and forcing his way through
the double doors at the frOht, besides
breaking the windows and tearing the
molding and wainscOting from the
walls.

GREGG On TRIAL.
Dora Brown, About to Become q
Mother, Tells q Story OF
Shame.

Justice Blair's court room was
crowded this morning when Dora
Brown, the prosecuting witness in the
case of the state against Gregg, alias
Lsmy, was put on the stand. Boys
under age were excluded from the
court room, and Dora Was the only
female present.
She told how she had met Gregg at
one of the principal business houses in
the city how he had introduced HIM
self and by his smiles and entresties,
had wormed himself into her fsvor,
and had stolen her virtue how she
had submitted to his wishes, and when
she found she would become q
mother, he had promised
t, marry her, but had not
kept his promise. She is poor
country girl, ignorsn, of many of the
demands of society, but of good Ohio
parentage. Her father sat in the
court room. his head bowed, crushed
by the weight of his daughters shame.
Gregg is employed on the Lexing-
ton branch, but first met the girl in
this city, where shelwss employed in
the family of her cousin. After max
ing her acquaintance at the store As
stated, he would stroll past her resi-
dence. and, seeing her in the yard,
would call her to the fence, and there.
in the gathering darkness of . SUM-
mer night, would tempt her. by
honeyed words and pie crust promises,
TO yield TO him all her maidenly
charms She consented, and months
afterwards, when she knew her ruin
was complete. she told him, and he
again promised to make right her
future. His arrest followed,
she quickly identifying him when
brought to her for that purpose.
She answered the attorneys ques-
lions with much hesitation, and was
easily confused, h,r story, however,
being in the main clear and lucid.
This is her story.
The counsel finished their argu-
ments at 3.15, and the magistrate, in
not more than a dozen words, dis
charged the defendant.
Prosecuting Attorney Lamm repre-
scented the state, while Capt. l.. l..
Bridges, and q. w. Longan appeared
for the defendant.

MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 8.

BLOODY GRoUNDs.-In Edge6eld county,
8. c., which is known as "the dark and
bloody ground" of the State, the official re-
cords show that within the last twelve years
there have been one hundred and twelve
murders. Though most of the accused
were brought to trial, the juries have failed
to convict, and the guilty ones have gener.
ally gone unwhipt of justice. At the pres
emit time indictments are pending against
thirty.one men, the majority of whom are
representives of the best families of the
county, who are charged with being impli.
Gated in the lynching of w. T. Culbreath on
the 21st of September, 1886. Half OF the
men charged with the crime are married,
and have over hundred children between
them. Some of them are white-halred and
have grandchildren, and some are still
in their teens. One is State senator from
that county, another is prominent physl'
clan and member of one OF the Oldest faml'
lies in the State; another is brother OF Mrs.
Culbreath, who married sister OF the muir
dered man, and still another is young Cul-
breath, his son. Culbreath had separated
from his wife, and her cousin, W. II. Ham.
mond. was managing the farm for her.
Culbreath had threatened the life of Ham
mond, and the latter having been killed by
a shot fred from an ambush on the farm,
Culbreath was arrested for the crime. He
pleaded innocence, and was confident of be.
ing cleared on his trial. The lynchers
broke into the Office OF the lawyers where
Culbreath was. He was wounded in the
struggle that ensued. and the lynchers tax.
ing possession, set off at gallop, dragging
the accused over the rough ground for
mile and half. After firing final volley
into his insensible body, they left him,
thinking lifs was extinct. He revived and
lived till the next morning, protesting with
his last breath his innocence of the crime.
The lynchers were held to bail, and for four
terms the cases have been continued.
Though the State authorities are determined
to bring on the trial, most of the cases will
have to be continued, as the accused are
fugitiyes from justice.

The GAZETTE is now the oldest paper Is.
the State, and with few exceptions the old
est in the country, and its usefulness has
been demonstrated and appreciated during
the EIGHTY. SEVEN YEARS ofits existence. In
its columns has always been found mirror
of passing events, and the careful chroni
cling of the history of what is going on in the
world has ever been its aim. 1t is always
welcomed in the household, while in the
counting room and workshop it has become
invaluable.
The GAZETTE has better facilities for OBJ
tanning news than any paper outside of the
national capital. Situated as it is so close
to the great centre of news, it enjoys daily
the benefit of the Associated Press dis.
patches from every part ofthe world hence
its patrons can read from its columns in the
evening what has transpired that day in
every portion of our own domain as well az
from every part of the habitable globe.
Consequently it is an every day occurrence
for the GAZETTE to publish kilograms from
the various European capitals twelve and
fifteen hours earlier than the morning ma.
pers.
Another feature that serves to make the
GAZETTE great desideratum with mer.
chants is its afternoon market reports from
New York, Baltimore, Chicago and other
centres.
The local department furnishes full and
complete history of everything that occurs
and near the city, and this feature will,
rs ever, receive careful attention.
Correspondence from Washington, Rich
nond and every section of theState, is pub.
lshed regularly, and all events of interest
occurring within the bounds of the Com.
nonwealth are to he found in the columns
# the GAZETTE.
The GAzETTE's circulation is steadily ia
reasing, especially among people who con.
ult its advertising columns before purchas-
ng. That this is seIf-evident may be infer.
ed from the fact that large country edi.
as large as the daily--is sent
IL over this section of country three tines

HON send here or to contiguous cities to
AXE purchases. The advantages of ad.
srtising in the GAZETTE are, therefore, ap-
